Can’t open board

When copying “ cd C:\Users\MyName\Desktop\Chess-Challenge\Chess-Challenge “ into the terminal on visual studio code, I get an error message saying there is no such file or directory, despite downloading the project. Also, when typing “ dotnet run” I get an error saying there is not a project to run. I can navigate to the code window in visual studio code of chess-challenge.csproj
In the integrated terminal, you have to navigate and set your working directory to the project directory.
isn't cd C:\Users\MyName\Desktop\Chess-Challenge\Chess-Challenge`` what you use to do this? When I run this command I get the error " cd: no such file or directory: C:UsersMyNameDesktopChess-ChallengeChess-Challenge "
Try: cd Chess-Challenge/Chess-Challenge
if that doesn't work, type: pwd to see the path to the current working directory. Then copy it and paste it after cd and add the remaining parts of the path.
I recommend Googling terminal file system navigation for your OS.
Managed to fix it, had to do cd /Users/MyName/Downloads/Chess-Challenge-main/Chess-Challenge instead of cd C:\Users\MyName\Desktop\Chess-Challenge\Chess-Challenge
